Zechariah 9

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 A proclamation. The word of Yahweh is against Hadrach, it has come to rest on Damascus, for thesource of Aram belongs to Yahweh no less than al the tribes of Israel;	1 λημμα λογου κυριου εν γη σεδραχ και δαμασκου θυσια αυτου διοτι κυριος εφορα ανθρωπους και πασας φυλας του ισραηλ
2 on Hamath too, which borders on it, and on (Tyre and) Sidon, despite her acumen.	2 και εμαθ εν τοις οριοις αυτης τυρος και σιδων διοτι εφρονησαν σφοδρα
3 Tyre has built herself a fortress, has heaped up silver like dust and gold like the dirt of the streets.	3 και ωκοδομησεν τυρος οχυρωματα εαυτη και εθησαυρισεν αργυριον ως χουν και συνηγαγεν χρυσιον ως πηλον οδων
4 And now the Lord is going to dispossess her; at sea he wil break her power, and she herself will go upin flames.	4 δια τουτο κυριος κληρονομησει αυτην και παταξει εις θαλασσαν δυναμιν αυτης και αυτη εν πυρι καταναλωθησεται
5 Seeing this, Ashkelon wil be terrified, Gaza too, and writhe with grief, Ekron too, at the ruin of herprospects; the king wil vanish from Gaza and Ashkelon be unpeopled,	5 οψεται ασκαλων και φοβηθησεται και γαζα και οδυνηθησεται σφοδρα και ακκαρων οτι ησχυνθη επι τω παραπτωματι αυτης και απολειται βασιλευς εκ γαζης και ασκαλων ου μη κατοικηθη
6 while a half-breed wil live in Ashdod! Yes, I shal destroy the pride of the Philistine;	6 και κατοικησουσιν αλλογενεις εν αζωτω και καθελω υβριν αλλοφυλων
7 I shal snatch his blood from his mouth, his abominations from between his teeth. But his remnant toowil belong to our God, becoming like a clan in Judah, and Ekron wil become like a Jebusite.	7 και εξαρω το αιμα αυτων εκ στοματος αυτων και τα βδελυγματα αυτων εκ μεσου οδοντων αυτων και υπολειφθησεται και ουτος τω θεω ημων και εσονται ως χιλιαρχος εν ιουδα και ακκαρων ως ο ιεβουσαιος
8 I shal stand guard before my home to defend it against al comers, and no oppressor wil overrun themever again, for now I am on the alert.	8 και υποστησομαι τω οικω μου αναστημα του μη διαπορευεσθαι μηδε ανακαμπτειν και ου μη επελθη επ' αυτους ουκετι εξελαυνων διοτι νυν εωρακα εν τοις οφθαλμοις μου
9 Rejoice heart and soul, daughter of Zion! Shout for joy, daughter of Jerusalem! Look, your king isapproaching, he is vindicated and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.	9 χαιρε σφοδρα θυγατερ σιων κηρυσσε θυγατερ ιερουσαλημ ιδου ο βασιλευς σου ερχεται σοι δικαιος και σωζων αυτος πραυς και επιβεβηκως επι υποζυγιον και πωλον νεον
10 He wil banish chariots from Ephraim and horses from Jerusalem; the bow of war wil be banished. Hewil proclaim peace to the nations, his empire wil stretch from sea to sea, from the River to the limits of the earth.	10 και εξολεθρευσει αρματα εξ εφραιμ και ιππον εξ ιερουσαλημ και εξολεθρευθησεται τοξον πολεμικον και πληθος και ειρηνη εξ εθνων και καταρξει υδατων εως θαλασσης και ποταμων διεκβολας γης
11 As for you, because of the blood of your covenant I have released your prisoners from the pit in whichthere is no water.	11 και συ εν αιματι διαθηκης εξαπεστειλας δεσμιους σου εκ λακκου ουκ εχοντος υδωρ
12 Come back to the fortress, you prisoners waiting in hope. This very day, I vow, I shal make it up to youtwice over.	12 καθησεσθε εν οχυρωματι δεσμιοι της συναγωγης και αντι μιας ημερας παροικεσιας σου διπλα ανταποδωσω σοι
13 For I have strung Judah as a bow for myself, laid Ephraim on the string as an arrow, have roused yoursons, Zion, against your sons, Javan, and have made you like a warrior's sword.	13 διοτι ενετεινα σε ιουδα εμαυτω τοξον επλησα τον εφραιμ και επεγερω τα τεκνα σου σιων επι τα τεκνα των ελληνων και ψηλαφησω σε ως ρομφαιαν μαχητου
14 Then Yahweh wil appear above them and his arrow wil flash out like lightning. (The Lord) Yahweh wilsound the trumpet and advance in the storm-winds of the south.	14 και κυριος εσται επ' αυτους και εξελευσεται ως αστραπη βολις και κυριος παντοκρατωρ εν σαλπιγγι σαλπιει και πορευσεται εν σαλω απειλης αυτου
15 Yahweh Sabaoth will protect them! They wil devour, wil trample on the sling-stones, they wil drinkblood like wine, awash like bowls, like the corners of the altar.	15 κυριος παντοκρατωρ υπερασπιει αυτων και καταναλωσουσιν αυτους και καταχωσουσιν αυτους εν λιθοις σφενδονης και εκπιονται αυτους ως οινον και πλησουσιν ως φιαλας θυσιαστηριον
16 Yahweh their God wil give them victory when that day comes, like the sheep who are his people; yes,the stones of a diadem wil sparkle over his country.	16 και σωσει αυτους κυριος εν τη ημερα εκεινη ως προβατα λαον αυτου διοτι λιθοι αγιοι κυλιονται επι της γης αυτου
17 How fine, how splendid that will be, with wheat to make the young men flourish, and new wine themaidens!	17 οτι ει τι αγαθον αυτου και ει τι καλον παρ' αυτου σιτος νεανισκοις και οινος ευωδιαζων εις παρθενους
